Chapter 380: Chapter 380

For Chenyang to clear his name, he had to take at least two crucial steps.

First, change the public opinion online.

Second, eliminate the obstacles in the real world.

And the people in front of him were the biggest real-world obstacle.

This obstacle was even more terrifying than the online public opinion.

Because only a small fraction of these people were here out of a genuine sense of indignation, wanting to fight an injustice. The rest were either incited and deluded fans or simply troublemakers hired by people with ulterior motives.

These people were the link between the online world and reality.

His every word and action here would be recorded by them. The good would be ignored, while the bad would not only be infinitely magnified but also directly uploaded to the internet, creating even more negative press against him online.

So, before he could use the evidence from Liu Yue to make the media companies correct their reporting and change the online narrative, he had to deal with this crowd first.

People who deliberately cause trouble are just like people who are pretending to be asleep.

You can never wake someone who doesn’t want to wake up, no matter what you do. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

And for people who are determined to cause a scene, you could present all the logic in the world, and it still wouldn’t change their minds.

Of course, it wasn’t that you couldn’t reason with these people. It was just that before you could reason with them, you first had to find a way to fish their conscience out from their guts full of malice and wash it clean!

Just now, Chenyang had already told Yan Rongrong the plan to ’wash their consciences’.

At first, Yan Rongrong wasn’t optimistic after hearing his plan.

No matter how she thought about it, Chenyang’s suggestions didn’t seem like they could solve the problem.

But she couldn’t come up with a better idea at the moment, and with the situation about to spiral out of control, she decided to give it a try and do as he said.

Yan Rongrong’s quiet departure didn’t attract much attention.

For one, everyone’s attention was currently on Chenyang, so no one noticed her, an unfamiliar face.

Furthermore, she had received professional training. Slipping out of everyone’s line of sight and moving stealthily to another location wasn’t difficult for her.

Of course, not being difficult didn’t mean things couldn’t go wrong.

Chenyang had her leave so she could secretly blend into the crowd.

To ensure this crucial step went off without a hitch, Chenyang deliberately drew everyone’s attention by starting a loud argument.

"You all keep calling me a fraud. What the hell did I ever defraud you of? Did I take your family’s money, or did I trick your wife into being my mistress?"

"Chen! How dare you still be so insolent at a time like this? Do you have a death wish?"

"Exactly! You don’t have a medical license, yet you acted as a doctor in a hospital. Isn’t that defrauding the hospital and the patients? You just said you’d give everyone an explanation, but a notorious scumbag like you can’t possibly give one, so aren’t those words just another lie?"

As the crowd cursed him with righteous indignation, Chenyang was watching Yan Rongrong out of the corner of his eye.

He had to admit, Yan Rongrong was truly something else.

In less than half a minute, she had not only changed her hairstyle but had also somehow procured a white jacket and a face mask.

Now disguised, she looked almost completely different from before.

If Chenyang hadn’t been so familiar with her and hadn’t been keeping a close watch, he would have had a hard time spotting her in the crowd.

Now, seeing that she had stealthily blended into the crowd, Chenyang began to act out the plan they had agreed on beforehand.

He cleared his throat and faced the crowd. "To those of you saying I don’t have a medical license, have you checked my file? Have you seen my resume? Do you have any proof that I don’t have one?

Besides, what’s more important, the damn piece of paper or actual medical skill? The people I treated came in sick and walked out healthy. They haven’t said a word, so what are all of you yapping on about?

You all sure know how to jump on a free spectacle and run your mouths endlessly. But yesterday, after the car crash, when so many people were injured and needed help, why didn’t I see any of you rushing forward to help?

Whether I, Chenyang, am a good person or a bad one, at least I saved all those people. But what about you? What the hell can you do besides run your mouths here and tap on a keyboard online?

You open your mouths and claim I took advantage of someone. Fine. Bring out the person I supposedly took advantage of. Let them stand here and tell me to my face what benefits I took from him, or how I took advantage of her."

Chenyang’s speech was a deliberate attempt to stall for time, and also to create an opportunity for Yan Rongrong to resolve this obstacle.

Of course, he was also taking the opportunity to vent the frustrations that had been building up inside him.
